Born in 1962, Isabelle Le Cardinal discovered her calling as a painter shortly after her stroke in September 2004. Painting then became for her the best way to ‘be in the world’, as she was unable to speak or write.
Little by little, she honed her technique under the guidance of several artists, such as Philippe Sommet, and chose to work in acrylic on cotton or linen canvas. She has since exhibited her work at various venues across the region: the Hôtel Bellevue, the Joie Saint Benoît convent, the crêperie Le Louis d’Or, the Médusa gallery in Bayeux, the restaurant Le 49 in Saint-Vigor-le-Grand, the Christmas market in Courseulles, not to mention the Galerie des Croisiers in Caen last January. And now she is returning to the Léopold Sedar-Senghor Cultural Centre in Port-en-Bessin, at the invitation of the town council, having exhibited there for the first time in 2011.
